One hopeful Canadian kid and one podcast to change the way North American cyclists succeed. It’s time to change the game for those on this side of the Atlantic. Carter Lewis, and his many guests work to alter what cycling looks like in the public eye, how athletes get to the world stage and stay there, but also just how insane this sport really is, from the grassroots of racing, right to the professional ranks. This is cycling with a very different perspective. Contact the show: Email us at:cliplessincanada@gmail.com Strava Club: https://www.strava.com/clubs/1404973

    Elly Hoskin: Keeping Enduro Alive and Taking it "One More Year" at a Time

    Cycling is a sport, game and passion. If it becomes too serious, what's the point? Elly Hoskin, 2025 UCI Enduro World Champ, is keeping it light on her way to succeeding at the national and international level. Her personality, energy, and vibe are what make her a fan favourite and someone with a huge potential for the years to come. On this episode, we chat about developing the Enduro scene in Canada, and how we can translate that to international success, why Enduro is the "baby discipline" of gravity mountain biking, but yet the most relatable and enjoyable. We talk on how important it is to build the athlete-brand relationship, generating content and marketing for your partners, and where fans, media, and teams, can be better for the long-term success of the sport .

    Dylan Bibic: Endurance Track Cycling Growth and Balancing Road and Track Demands

    Dylan Bibic is one of the biggest young talents in track cycling. With a World Champs win, Track Champions League Endurance triumph and plenty of other huge results, Dylan has brought substantial success to Canadian bike racing. We chat about the need for an update to the equipment regulations in track, how impactful it is to have a great partner like Argon 18, why we can all put aside bike envy and take Dylan's advice to put it all aside and be the best you can be. Where does Cycling Canada and Canadian cycling enthusiasts need to look for growing track cycling, and how we can turn track into the next big Canadian Fall sport. But did you know Dylan changed up from baseball to cycling, because the former got boring? And is there a largely unknown reason for the Track Champions League collapse? Will we ever see something similar to the TCL come up again? Check out Dylan's 2026 season and cheer him on, both on the road and track! Dylan's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dylanbibic/

Nigel stops by to chat about the importance of building trust in the relationship, developing athletes into strong riders as well as good people, the behind-the-scenes to Magdeleine Vallières World Champs win, and what coaching in 2025 looks like.

    Jérémy Rubier: Le Grand Détour and What it Means to be Québécois

    Le Grand Détour is a story and documentary series, in the progress of being created by Jérémy Rubier, a Montréal based filmmaker and cyclist. Jérémy is a fantastic person, with a great plan for what can happen and what needs to be done to help, highlight, and showcase all Quebec has to offer. A link to the crowdfunding campaign is at the bottom of this description. If possible, please donate and help Mr. Rubier create the documentary and vlog series we've all been waiting for! I, Carter Lewis, sat down to chat with Jérémy to discuss the background and behind-the-scenes to a project such as this. We talk about what it means for someone to undertake a journey like this one, how it is approached and reacted to by local people, and the impact it has on himself, his culture, and more. What does the training look like? How much gear is he carrying? How important is it to get high quality shots, or is editing more important? We answer all this and more with some good laughs in there too.
